Video: SL’s explanations not satisfactory: US State Department
MIRROR AI
⏳ Generating summary…
The United States said the Sri Lankan governments ‘explanation’ on the impeachment of Chief Justice Dr. Shirani Bandranayake was not “satisfactory in terms of protecting democracy”.The spokesperson for the US State Department, Victoria Nuland made these remarks in response to questions posed by journalists, during the daily press briefing.
She added that it is too soon say what impact the action would have on US foreign assistance to Sri Lanka in the future.
Nuland confirmed Sri Lanka had requested 16.5 million dollars in assistance, for 2013.
“Just for your records, U.S. Government assistance for FY2012 for Sri Lanka was $27 million. This included 13.3 million in bilateral assistance programs which primarily related to peace and security, human rights, economic growth, and democracy programs” she said.

Simple minded people who think SL is self sufficient and can afford to tell others to mind their own business.
Please take some time to check where our exports go to, not just how much cash debt we have with the USA.
Of course the USA is as bad as any other country, but that's human nature. If you think our "dharma dweepaya" would behave any differently if we had America's powers, you are deluded!4 19

We need all the international support to save our Mother Lanka. After winning the war, our democratic Sri Lanka was turned into a corrupt, lawless Banana Republic. Now all attempts are made to turn into a dangerous family dictatorship. Jungle law rules the Country and citizens have lost all their rights. God save former democratic Sri Lanka.

Sounds like a threat and rightly so. But our Govt is either too dumb to realize the consequences or too thick-skinned care.

They tried to impeach him on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice... not just because he slept with an intern. And from what I recall they did (or tried their level best to) do it within their laws and constitution.

Whatever we say would not be satisfactory to you. What would you do if the CJ in your country had these allegations? After all you impeached the President who had consensual sex with an intern. No country questioned the rights and wrongs of your impeachment as it is an internal matter.
Please leave Sri Lanka alone.37 12
Sumathipala Thursday, 17 January 2013 08:48 AM
No need to report to USA, but to the UN, IMF, Commonwealth.
As long as the begging bowl is passed on this countries, as long they will have a voice.11 20
